Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Michael Pittman Jr.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp is not entering a friendly matchup for his fantasy football props this week. Kupp has produced when the Seahawks have needed his services. However, Seattle's defense should be able to handle the Texans' offense, leading to low volume in the Seahawks' passing game. Kupp has only cleared five targets and four receptions twice in six games this season. On both of those occasions, Seattle was playing significantly from behind at one point in the game, and the passing game was necessary to even the score. Otherwise, the Seahawks have attempted to heavily rely on the running game in 2025. Kupp is likely going to be a flex option in the right matchups this year. However, this does not project to be one of them.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. hauled in his fifth touchdown of the season in a 38-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7. Pittman has been a dangerous red-zone weapon for a red-hot Colts offense through the first seven games of the season. He will look to keep it going in Week 8's home matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans are allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season. Pittman's projection is downgraded a bit with Josh Downs returning from a one-week absence due to a concussion, but he will remain a threat to find the endzone regardless. He sets up as a low-end WR2 in fantasy in Week 8 against Tennessee.
